    And Dare to Get Dirty week continues! You can view a Master List of all the Challenges Here, but you’ll need to be a Fan Club Member.

     

     

    This first card was made for the following DTGD challenges: DTGD10JeanneS, DTGD10DeborahLynneS, DTGD10cindy_haffner, DTGD10flowergal36 and DTGD10justwritedesigns01. That’s a lot of challenges! I worked on this off an on over a couple of days and putting all the pieces together was really a challenge in itself.

    All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. Actually there are only 2 stamped images; the lawn chair and the sentiment. Everything else was done with punches and scissors.

    The flower/sun and umbrella were both created using Quickutz scalloped flower dies and a chrysanthemum punch. The two bands of grass were cut with pinking shears then slits cut all along the tops. Greenery and flowers were also added. The sentiment was stamped on a leftover brayered piece and hand trimmed. A little butterfly was punched and a trail drawn with a black pen. Finished card measures 4.5 x 6.25 (A6).

    Supplies:
    stamps: Sparkle N Sprinkle
    paper: white, dp ((green, lime, orange & yellow w/ dots- all Paper Studio)
    ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaleidacolor Melon Melody
    accessories: Quickutz cookie cutter flower dies., Martha Stewart fence, branch & chrysanthemum punches, butterfly & clouds punches (All Night Media), sm flower punch (EK Success)

    This second card was done for the sketch challenge, SC290. Since Roxie based the sketch on this card I did last year, I couldn’t pass up making a card for the challenge. I was pretty excited when I saw the challenge.

    All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I started with what I thought was a quick and easy idea: split the image over the three panels. Even with the SAMJ (stamp a ma jig), it’s harder than it sounds. But I finally got it to work.

    The left and right squares were punched in opposite corners and each square was matted with black, then attached them to a larger ivory panel. I stamped the wheat image below them and added a larger black mat. The sentiment oval and black oval were cut with Spellbinders petite ovals. The finished ivory card measures 6.25 x 4.50 (A6).

    Supplies:
    stamps: ODBD
    paper: ivory, black
    ink: Ancient Page coal
    accessories: spellbinders petite ovals, Marvy corner punch, SAMJ

  • FS154 – God’s Love

    Weekly-Favorite

    Congrats to my friend and fellow DDIC Team member, Anne, who is the Featured Stamper today at Splitcoast Stampers! I had a fun stroll through her extensive gallery and finally picked Antique Moss to case. I liked the soft color and the way the frame reminded me of icing on one of those elaborate wedding cakes. That being said, it looks like I changed most everything. I changed the colors, the image, the layout. I did keep the texture and softness of the color.

    The  scripture is a new image from Our Daily Bread designs in their Confirmation set.  I stamped it w/ the lightning black ink and stamped the dove w/ the soft sand ink over it. If y’all saw the new Spellbinders dies last week, you would have seen a beautiful new cross die. Since I don’t have that fantastic die, I tried to create my own cross by putting pieces together. I started w/ a long rectangle die and resized it. Then I cut the middle section of the Fleur de lis die and four of the individual Fleur de lis and arranged them all as shown.

    I layered all the white w/ some vanilla, tan and dp. I added the ribbon and a pearl button w/ the shank removed. Thanks so much for stopping by!
